Recreate the Stanford prison experiment?...:skeleton:

Perhaps do research on some famous psychological experiments and try to use the same concept they did, on a smaller scale, in a way that works for you?
 
Salaam,

There is an online questionnaire to show stress levels...why dont you do an experiement to show stress levels in a certain age group and why it occurs?

Or you can do an experiment on conformity? See how many people confirm on a particular thing on the street?

Make sure you always dicuss the ethical issues to in each research and how it could be improved in the future.

do something about mothers and children. their interaction with one another and what happens when there are "rifts" in the relationship, such as divorce etc.

im sure there has been something similar in the past about this.
i dont exactly remember but there was a study involving mother and child apes where what happened if the mother and child where separated and the effects it had on both their well-being was studied. i remember one of the variables was that the mother and child ape were completely separated, so in different rooms, so they couldn't see/interact with one another at all and although it did have a slight affect on them, it was almost nothing compared to another of the variables where the mother ape and child ape were placed in the same room, with only a glass separating them. so this time, they could see one another other, but were deprived of touch and interaction with one another. and subhanallah, results showed that it had an extremely negative affect on them so the child ape went really skinny, etc and both showed symptoms of i guess depression.

man that study was depressing :p

maybe you could do how children analyze and figure out things.

there was one experiment, high temperatures increase aggressiveness (that is, ppl act more aggressively when the weather is hot). you can do that.
